Recently I cooked a fragrant Samarkand pilaf, which differs from the usual pilaf except for the presence of chickpeas in the composition. I liked this miracle pea, which I tried for the first time, so much that I wanted to get to know other dishes with chickpeas and Samarkand cuisine in general.
In Samarkand, this dish is called nohat shurak and is served on slices of Samarkand flatbread - patyr. Sometimes a whole flatbread replaces a plate at the same time. The flatbread is voluminous, with a golden dense crust and has a recess from the edges to the center, which is very similar to a dinner plate.
And if you put the finished dish on the slices of this patyr and pour the broth, then the bread does not get wet at all, but only gets soaked in broth and becomes softer.
Break off a piece of broth-soaked flatbread and eat it together with peas and meat. Actually, this dish is made without meat, but apparently people are so used to meat that nohat shurak has already started to be served meat.
